Got the car as a shell at 18
Had a 67 Dart in highschool, car got t boned a few months after graduating. When talking to my engine builder he said his best friend had a 67 Dart that had been a drag car since brand new, he was the second owner. We looked over the car and it was cleaner than the car I just lost so we made a deal and brought it home.
The original plan was to just do the bare minimum to get it running and driving so we can go racing but thanks to the snowball effect it turned into modifying everything on the car.
My friends refer to the car as the Hardware store car cause alot of the car is scratch built and the local hardware stores along with the metal depot near us knew me and my phone number by the end of the project lol.
When starting out with this project I thought I knew how to TIG but this project pushed me to learn all different TIG welding (titanium, steel, Chromoly, aluminum) along with all kind of fabrication (chassis work, wiring, plumbing, rollcage work etc.)
Did everything but the paint and building the 727 transmission
